SPITTOON.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 292,286, dated January 22, 1884:. Application filed September 15, 1883. (X0 modcll) To all whomitmay concern/.-

, Be it known that I, JQSIAH J DEAL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wilmot, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spittoons, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying-drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in spittoons which are to be fastened in a floor of a railroad-car or other vehicle; and it consists in the construction of the bowl wit-ha tilting motion, operated by a pedal-lever, and having a counter-weight, whereby it can be turned up for use, and will automatically resume its normal position by its own gravity when released, all of which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure l is a plan view of the frame and top plate of the spittoon closed. Fig. 2 is the same as Fig. 1, with the spittoon turned up and open for use. Fig. 3 is avertioal longitudinal section on 2 z-of Fig. 1. Fig; 4 is a side view of Fig. 2. Fig.5 is. a. transverse vertical section on a: x of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a transverse vertical section of Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a side view of a pedal-lever with its connecting-rod.

A represents the floor plate or frame,which is fastened to the car-floor A by screws 0. a, &c.

B is the covering-plate of the spittoon O, to which is attached the bowl 0 of the spittoon which has straight end 0 0.

Attached to the bottom side of the top plate, A, are vertical ears or flanges a a, which are formed by turning down from the orifice such portions of the sheet metal as will be sufficient to make the flanges; or, it the floor or top plate be of cast metal, these ears a a can be cast with the plate. Holes a a are made in these ears for the pins or bolts .b b, which act as pivots for the spittoon to turn upon.

D, as shown in side view, Fig. 7, is a leto the end or lower edge of the outside, at any I convenient point to give such a length of motion as will turn over the spittoon to its fullest extent by a very small motion of the pedal.

In Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6, a spring-rod, D, is shown as a modification of pedal-lever D, Fig. 7. This rod may be used in some places where it would be better than the straight lever; but I prefer the latter wherever it can be used. By pressing with the foot upon the lever'D or knob D, the bowl of the spittoon O is turned up, as shown in Figs. 2,- 4, and 6. Attached to the lowerv edge of the bowl 0 is a lead plate,

c, which, by its weight, will cause the bowl 0 automatically turned down again to beemptied,

and the covering-plate made to cover the orifice in the floor, substantially as and for the purpose described.

'2. The combination of the lever D, connecting-rod d, and revolving bowl 0, having a covering-plate, B, and frame A, having ears a a,

substantially as and for'th'e purpose described In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
